Gwangju Seobu Fire Department "Year-Round Operation of Illegal Activity Reporting Reward System"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Western Fire Station announced on the 29th that it is operating a year-round reward system for reporting illegal acts such as the closure of fire facilities and emergency exits to encourage citizens' voluntary participation in the maintenance and management of evacuation and fire prevention facilities and to raise safety awareness.

The Western Fire Station received reports of illegal acts related to fire facilities, and upon on-site verification, discovered violations. According to the "Gwangju Metropolitan City Ordinance on the Operation of the Reward System for Reporting Illegal Acts Related to Fire Facilities," it plans to hold a review meeting and provide two rewards.

Illegal acts defined by related laws include leaving fire facilities in a broken state, closing or blocking them, placing objects in corridors, stairs, or emergency exits, closing or damaging fire doors, or installing obstacles that interfere with the function of fire doors.

The targets include specific fire safety objects such as cultural and assembly facilities, sales facilities, transportation facilities, lodging facilities, entertainment facilities, and complex buildings (such as sales facilities + lodging facilities, and multi-use establishments).

Anyone can report, and by submitting a report form along with evidence such as photos or videos that confirm the illegal acts via fax, mail, visit, or information communication networks, the fire station will conduct on-site verification and, after a review committee meeting for reward payment, provide a predetermined reward if confirmed.

A fire official urged, “Emergency exits and other fire facilities are very important facilities that protect all of our lives and property, and the small interest and safety awareness of the public are necessary to prevent casualties and property damage caused by illegal acts.”
